# 🧱 Block Plus (Forge)

Welcome to Block Plus, the ultimate building and decoration expansion designed exclusively for Forge!

Have you ever looked at Fabric-exclusive decoration mods and wished you had those gorgeous textures on your Forge modpack? This mod was born out of that exact necessity. Block Plus is a passionate, standalone "reforged" tribute inspired by the brilliant aesthetics of Blockus, combined with nostalgic block families from legendary classic mods (like Astral Sorcery), alongside entirely custom creations.
